Consignment store kilt pin find

<----Going to have to remember to check out consignment shops and other unique shops for those interesting finds now....

The other two look like Sutherlands (stag) and Cameron (saltire). Very good find indeed.

Actually, the center pin is St. Andrew & his cross, which is featured on the Cameron's badge -- but this is a "generic" badge. I have a larger cap badge version that I wear on my glengarry for St. Andrew's Society colour party functions. You'll find them at most Scottish suppliers.

The Sutherlands have a wildcat on their badge; you may have been thinking of the Gordons and/or the Mackenzies, which both have stag's heads as crests.

Bottom line: these are generic kilt pins, and not associated with the regiments.

I was thinking they resembled the regiments' crests but I did mean to say Seaforths not Sutherlands.

But, but, there goes your excuse to buy more kilts!

Who needs an excuse? I'm retired! I can spend what little money that I can hide from the wife in any manner that I want. As long as she doesn't start counting my kilts, I'm OK - - - -

She'll notice differen colour patterns or if you're lucky - leather. She'll catch on you know! Just because they were dumb enough to marry us, doesn't mean they're dumb.

Yup! Everytime my wife tries to say that she's intelligent, I can always shut her up by asking....... Then why did you marry me?
